Nontraditional bride, I'm into heavy metal, leather and Halloween (but love anything that sparkles!). Our family and friend know to expect the unexpected at our wedding...from an industrial setting at a working brewery, to Metallica and Aerosmith for our wedding songs. Can't wait until October 16th!

Happily married 🎉

Covid and guests
Cara, on October 9, 2021 at 8:48 PM

How is everyone handling covid? Are you asking for tests of vaccination cards? Our wedding is next August so I'm just trying to plan ahead and see what everyone else is doing.

Looking for my tribe... small, non-traditional, small budget weddings.
Shannon, on October 10, 2021 at 3:57 PM

I feel so out of place in most of these forums. I'm looking for my tribe to discuss planning ideas. I'm not so concerned about typical wedding things or what the majority considers the right way to do...

Bouquet or No Bouquet?
Heather, on August 19, 2021 at 2:38 PM

I never really thought to get a bouquet. Do some brides go without?

Processional song intro length
Victoria, on August 10, 2021 at 10:22 PM

I guess I never paid much attention to any of the weddings I've been to before, but is it okay to let the beginning of your processional play for about 30 seconds before you start walking down the...

Just how important are invitations to you?
Samantha, on August 2, 2021 at 5:00 PM

I am really into paper, and always dreamed of having my invitations engraved on Crane stationary...which is super expensive. We are NOT actually doing that because I really just can't justify it....

Sarah, on June 10, 2021 at 1:31 PM

I’m close to my dad but we never went to any kind of father daughter dances when I was growing up. We’re both very awkward and my dad isn’t a fan of dancing. Same situation with FH and his mom. Is it...

Sarah, on June 4, 2021 at 11:12 PM

What tradition are you tossing out?

It’s a completely different thing from etiquette because it’s a custom that has been around for awhile that doesn’t offend anyone and create awkwardness if you choose not to participate. Usually it’s...
